Hi
My Apache http server is running on Windows.
I'm able to get cgi/Perl scripts to run.
I'm trying to run an application like notepad from my html form. I have a
button that calls a script but the notepad application only runs in the
background (no window pops up like when I test in Perl). I see it in the
Windows Task Manager/Processes Tab so I know it is running. Below is a clip
from my form code:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/run_hotkey.pl" method="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Run notepad Script">
</FORM>
This is a clip from my run_hotkey.pl script:
#! c:/perl/bin/perl -w
use strict;
system("notepad"); # This starts notepad in the background.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Dave Fangmeier
